No I haven't! powder or is it already made?

The muscle milk light is what my nut recommended. It was the only Protein Drink I like. I would recommend the ready to drink over the powder.

Hello hek1127,

A drink my nut recommended for something that is tasty and you can carry ( i commute to work here in Philly) and has 16 gr of protien and counts towards your fluids is Gatorade G3.... found it at target for $1.59 per bottle its not bad ...kiwi strawberry has a " unique" taste. but the other flavors are not bad. hope this helps :-)

So my doc told me NO Protein Shakes or anything that doesn't come from food. Problem is, I don't feel like I'm getting enough Protein. I'm hitting maybe 25g a day and that's me eating as much protein packed things I can find. I'm only like a week and a half post op. I just feel like I'm the only one on here that isn't in taking some extra form of protein. Any ideas?

Your not allowed Protein Shakes? Wow that's crazy. Did he say why? I'm not allowed to have regular food for 2 more weeks, that's after the purée stage. ???

I'm required to make up my Protein with supplements. Sixty grams of protein is like 6-8 oz. of beef...no way could I eat all that!

The first 2-3 days I was on clear liquid, then day 3-7 I was on purée foods, now from day 8 - 4 months I'm on soft foods.

Went in for my post op today. 5 days out from surgery and I'm down 7.5 lbs. God is so good because I am feeling great. Drove myself to the doctor today. Haven't had pain meds in days. My back and stomach start to feel really tense after I've been up and about for a few hours but that's really it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
